[QUOTE="BuskhillFarm, post: 7857906, member: 150947"] Is there a map for where people do more direct drilling over ploughing? Moving on from the ploughing is bad thread, where is the cross over point. Is it only for the big south of England farms? Where is is dry and sunny and warm? I’m in Northern Ireland, it’s damp and mild all year around. I plough because it’s what I “think” I have to do. My farm is probably smaller than what some people call (an awkward corner so we’ll plant in trees so we don’t have to bother with it) It’s bloody steep (I’ve been beaten with a 4 furrow on a t6080 NH) and also a 800l sprayer on my lightest tractor on in a poor year. I do it for the love and will probably not change my system as it’s set up for the worst years and can only justify one seed drill which has to be suitable for the worst years. How does direct drilling work on the steep ground on a wet year? No one in my area does it including the farmers weekly farmer of the year (min till is starting to get a bit more popular) but 99% is all ploughed here. [/QUOTE]
